Full Description

Nos 40 and 42 originally comprised one large C16 timber-framed house of 3 storeys and cellars, with a double jetty on the whole frontage but No 40 was completely refronted in the C19. The upper storeys have exposed timber-framing and the ground storey has a C20 shop front. The windows are C19 and C20 replacements, on the 1st storey there is a long range of mullioned and transomed casements with lattice leaded lights and on the 2nd storey 2-light casements with lattice leaded lights. Roof tiled. The interior has unusually high ceilings with heavy exposed beams with multiple roll mouldings. A long wing extends to the south at the rear. 2-storeys. The upper storey is jettied on the east side on brackets. The moulded sills of 3 original (blocked) windows survive on the ground storey and there is an original 3-light window with moulded mullions on the 1st storey. The main ceiling beams have multiple roll mouldings similar to those in the front block. 2 -bays at the south end of the rear wing are of later construction.
